inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The National Food Agency (Bapanas) reports the food aid distribution of 10 kg rice in August is almost complete as the realization has reached 97.22 percent.

“The realization for August 2024 as of August 30 has reached 97.22 percent,” says the Deputy II for Food and Nutrition Insecurity, Nyoto Suwignyo on Sunday (9/8/2024).

Nyoto reports the total rice aid that has been distributed in August is 213,927 tons. He says there are some hindrances in several regions for the food distribution, particularly in Papua due to its geographical factors and validation of aid recipient data.

This has become the concern of his party as they and related stakeholders are preparing strategies to accelerate the aid distribution.

In addition, he emphasized that the aid for August was part of the third distribution aid, which will be continued later on in October and December. Approximately 22 million Beneficiary Families (KPM) receive 10 kg of rice aid in those months.
